Say What: GoFundMe Shuts Down Accounts for R. Kelly’s Defense

An R. Kelly super fan started a crowdfunding page for his legal defense against sex abuse charges but it was shut down by GoFundMe. GoFundMe has reportedly shut down a few efforts started by R. Kelly fans to pay for his legal defense. “These campaigns violate GoFundMe’s terms of service and they’ve been removed from the platform,” GoFundMe spokeswoman Jenny Perillo said. “I can confirm that our terms of service prohibit raising money on GoFundMe for the legal defense of a violent crime.”
